What Kind Of Truck Do You Drive?


The other night I was having a heated discussion about forums with a good friend of mine. He is in the business of selling trucks and I told him that he should advertise on this forum.

He believe it or not things forums are a waste of time. To him it is a place where everyone goes to whine and complain. Now believe me this is where things got out of hand because when I know I am right I will fight till the end.

So I said I can prove that forums will work for your business so now I need your help. Tell me what kind of truck you drive for your business.

See I look at this forum as a way for me to keep a pulse on our industry all over the country and I have found out that since I have been here that we all kind of all have the same types of problems. But yes it somewhat makes you feel good because I am not alone.

I believe in helping people so I give my thoughts on marketing and I hope I have touched the lives of some of you and inspired you to look at your marketing.

See after I do my home work and add up all the kind of trucks we all drive for work I will take the time to prove to my buddy that not only do forums work but you can use it as a tool to sell more products.

So I will thank you all in advance for helping and it you choose to leave a note to my friend I will make sure good or bad that he reads everyone.

07 Dodge 3500 Diesel
06 Chevy 2500 Gas
06 Chevy 2500 Gas
79 Chevy 1500 Gas
06 Nissan Xterra

I'd buy another Chevy 73-88, or 01-06 in a heartbeat, or another Dodge 03-07...

PS, there's a few dealers that posted over on TDR that seemed to sell a lot of vehicles to the forum guys...

Re: What Kind Of Truck Do You Drive?


2004 Dodge Dakota
biggest "small pickup" I could find.
I do a lot of urban work so I need something that I can fit into fairly tight parking spaces. I added on a fold-down bed extender, so I can fit in 4x8 sheets of gypsum board. I also installed a set of Supersprings. They really improved the handling. Plus, I can put 1,700 lbs of stuff in the back without my headlights pointing skyward.
